Small, manoeuvrable and deadly, the Grundstok Gunhauler is an escort-class ship tasked with ensuring the safety of the airfleets’ larger skyvessels. They perform this role well, swarming in defence before peeling off to launch deadly attack runs.

Points: 170
Battlefield Role: None
Base size: 105 x 70mmNotes: Single. Battleline in a
Barak-Urbaz army
A Grundstok Gunhauler is armed with an Aethershot Carbine, Boarding Weapons and 1 of the following weapon options: Sky Cannon; or Drill Cannon.
Ahead Full: The Captain of a Grundstok Gunhauler can overcharge its engine so that the craft moves at maximum speed for a short time.
Once per battle, at the start of your
movement phase, you can say that this unit will move ahead full. If you do so, add 6" to its Move characteristic in that phase.
Escort Vessel: Grundstok Gunhaulers are used to disrupt attacks on larger Kharadron skyvessels in the vicinity.
Friendly
SKYVESSELS other than
GRUNDSTOK GUNHAULERS have a
ward of 6+ while they are within 3" of any friendly
GRUNDSTOK GUNHAULERS.
Bomb Racks: This skyvessel carries a variety of bombs that can be dropped onto the battlefield below, obliterating ground targets and leaving smouldering ruin in their wake.
After this unit finishes a
normal move or a
run, you can pick 1 enemy unit that this unit passed across and roll 4 dice. For each 4+, that enemy unit suffers 1
mortal wound. This ability has no effect on units that can
fly.
Drill Cannon: The shells fired by a drill cannon burrow into the target and then explode, blasting shards of metal from the drill bit all around.
If the unmodified
hit roll for an attack made with a Drill Cannon is 5+, that attack causes 3
mortal wounds to the target and the
attack sequence ends (do not make a
wound roll or
save roll).
Sky Cannon: A sky cannon can either be loaded with shrapnel or an explosive shell.
Each time this unit shoots, choose either the Shrapnel or Shell weapon characteristics for all the attacks it makes with its Sky Cannon.
